Rocco was amazing. I danced the entire night. 10/10 recommend.
Working with Travis was an absolute pleasure! We live out of state and he was so wonderful handling all of our planning over the phone ahead of our wedding! The ceremony was outdoors and his equipment was beyond perfect. He incorporated all of our requests and kept the dance floor packed all night at our reception - and the lights were awesome! Will for sure be recommending Travis to all of our friends in the future!
how EXCITED am I to review Excite! and Travis? so much so I'm writing this on my honeymoon! Travis was A+ from the start. great personality, funny, smart and understood our vision from the first meeting! it was so awesome to give a general idea of music and know he could just run with it and boy did he deliver day of! we barely needed chairs at the wedding bc people were out dancing the whole wedding! thank u travis for everything! our wedding at Mahans was perfect in part bc of everything you did for Chuck and I!
The best DJ anyone can ask for. He asked us if we wanted anything catered to what we needed and went above and beyond! He really listened to what we were looking for and made sure he hit the mark.
A++++++++++++++++++++++++
Travis did everything we expected. He was there for any questions, last minute changes, and a whole lot of fun. Having s lifelong friend do this for us was awesome. Trav made the whole process less stressful and relaxing. Any questions, ill be more than happy to answer them. Thank you again Travis!!!
Travis did our wedding at Mahans. We were very happy with him and would recommend him to our friends.
Travis was the best!! He listened to everything we wanted and really got to know us as a couple before DJing our wedding!!! He kept refilling our drinks and making sure we were comfortable!! Thank you Travis!!!!!
Rocco was everything we wanted and more for our wedding day! He spent so much time with us, helping pick out songs, learning our taste in music, and making sure every little detail was exactly how we wanted it. He had an excellent and extremely easy to use online system where we could access everything. His flexibility, patience, and organization before and during the wedding was very much appreciated! We are so thankful he was a part of our special day!!
Fantastic DJs! Always a blast and perfectly professional. From just providing music and lights to pulling together the whole flow and timing of your wedding, these are the guys to use! Travis did an Mazing job with our wedding and we couldn't have found anyone better! Rocco did my sister's wedding and he was fantastic as well. These guys will forever have you singing and dancing! Worth every cent!
We hired Rocco for our October 8, 2016 wedding and it's a decision we will never regret! Rocco took the time to get to know us as a couple and our taste in music ranging from oldies to the newest hits! He has a detailed form he keeps with him at all times to ensure he stays ontime, pronounces names correctly, and keeps within our tastes in music. The dance floor was not empty once at our wedding! The DJ makes or breaks a wedding, in my opinion, and I have been to some where the DJ was inexperienced or not very in tune with the clients' wants and needs. Not Rocco! The total opposite! All of or guests were excited to play a game to win our homemade centerpieces, they enjoyed the upbeat music as he introduced himself, and we all absolutely loves that his speakers were well placed and not deafening any of our guests. He even lead a few group dances and a line dance that allowed our photographer to get a picture of everyone dancing! Lately, he was able to give me a very personal and memorable father/daughter dance. My father recorded himself playing our special song on his piano and then sent it to Rocco via email. I was then able to record my voice reciting a poem for my Dad and I sent it to Rocco as well. Rocco expertly overplayed my poem with the ending of my Dad's song and I was able to surprise my dad with a fitting tribute. Enough can not be said of Rocco's work! I highly recommend him to any bride and groom who want to party all night long!
Travis was amazing! I had the utmost confidence in him from our initial meeting. He met with us two times before our wedding to plan and go over all of the details. On the day of our wedding, I didn't have to worry about a thing! Travis did a great job of organizing our bridal party for introductions. He coordinated perfect timing with our photographer for dances, pictures, cake cutting, etc. And most importantly, he played exactly the music we wanted to hear and he kept everyone dancing! I couldn't have asked for anything better! I highly recommend!
We had Excite DJ at our home for 2 parties. Travis came with the perfect equipment for our backyard party and when the rain came he moved it into a house party without a missed beat. He had any music that was requested and even had Karaoke for anyone who got the urge. The price was right and he treated us like family. We're looking forward to our next event.
We went to our friend's wedding over the weekend at Mahan's Lakeview and the DJ was amazing! This was the 5th wedding we attended this year since May and hands down Travis was the best! He knew the type of music the couple wanted and he knew the audience and how to keep them on the dance floor. We had quite a few kids attend the wedding, so after the ceremony and sitting more during cocktail hour the kids were ready to move. The dance floor was cleared and Travis knew the music to play to keep the kids contained on the dance floor and he kept the music appropriate for pre-dinner music. The DJ has a big job to do, keeping the flow and mood during the reception, keeping people on the dance floor having a good time, making announcements, transitioning the songs seamlessly and in an order that makes sense... Travis from Excite DJ has done all that and more and I know the bride and groom were very happy.
Our wedding was at Mahans Lakeview. Travis did a wonderful job. The dance lights and monogram looked great and our guests were dancing all night long.
Travis made my wedding the best day of my life! If you considering using anyone else, DON'T!
Let me outline why:
1. Ease of use. He has all the experience and expertise. He had no problems finding all the music I requested (including a string quartet version of the Rocky theme song).
2. Professional! He set up early was on top of every situation a backyard wedding throws at you.
3. Great under pressure! Our food came out an hour later than anticipated and he kept everyone informed and the party kept moving.
4. He is truly amazing at his job. I had 150 guests and every single one of them was on the dance floor the entire time. I had every guest say they have never had so much fun at a wedding.
I cannot thank Travis enough for everything he did. He truly made our wedding day unforgettable.
Travis and Rocco did a great job as DJ and Photographer and everyone had a great time. They are easy to work with and provided a fun and entertaining atmosphere for us and our guests.
To be honest we didn't initially book Excite for our wedding. We met with Travis and felt that we could save some money by using another DJ that quoted us significantly less. Basically we paid the guy up front and never heard from him again. When we called him the phone was out of service. All of the sudden our wedding was 3 weeks away and we didn't have a DJ. So I called Travis to see if there was any chance he was still available. Not only was he available but he met with us the next night to go over everything. He spent hours with us planning the whole wedding from start to finish. We walked in freaking out and by the time we left we were excited (see what I did there?) for our wedding again. Travis delivered on everything he promised and more. The dance floor was packed all night and he even had our grandparents dancing. He was professional and very organized. After everything that happened we ended up paying a lot more than we had planned, but our wedding was amazing. Travis really saved the day.
Travis has now done three of our families' weddings and each one has been wonderful. He helped us coordinate each event from start to finish and even gave some great recommendations for other vendors! The communication was a huge help in pulling everything together. He spent a lot of time helping us get everything we wanted within our budget. He has always been able to play to guests of all ages and the lighting is a great touch. We always refer him to all of our friends!
We had a fantastic experience with excite dj. Rocco was great with our planning process. He did the videography for our wedding which is the best thing we took away from our wedding. Rocco did a fantastic job with the music and capturing the entire night. The night goes by so fast it's so nice to look back and watch the night anytime we want. Our dj was also fantastic. They worked with us to pick the perfect songs for all the moments of our night. We wanted to make sure there was plenty of time for dancing and they made that a priority. Everyone had such a fantastic time dancing the night away. Many people tell us they never had so much fun and we know excite dj was part of that experience!
Excite! Disc Jockey Entertainment did an incredible job on my wedding day. They made my day feel so special. Thanks to Excite I will have amazing memories of my wedding to always look back on!
Excite dj did an amazing job. He was professional during the planning process and always was ready and prompt in answering my many questions. He played all the music we wanted to hear. Also my family, I love them to death but they are not huge dancers and Rocco got them up and dancing!!! I am so glad I chose excite to Dj my wedding. I would highly recommend them for any dj needs especially weddings!!!
Rocco was a great DJ for our wedding. He was very polite and professional while being fun and provided a great atmosphere for the wedding. He was very easy to work with before the wedding and during it as well. We had a some last minute changes that he very graciously helped us to make and was glad to make them. I would recommend his DJ service to anyone looking for a great DJ.
I actually found Excite through my bank- I somehow ended up telling the teller about my wedding, and he coincidentally also worked for Excite.
Rocco, the owner, does a great job in narrowing down exactly what you want for your reception and ceremony (if need be). I literally picked all the entrance songs for my wedding party and parents, as well as cake cutting songs and some songs that I really wanted to be played at either the cocktail hour, dinner, or for the dance floor. All of them were played, except the cake-cutting song I wanted- he played the wrong one, but the only people that noticed were me and my husband.
I also enlisted my photographers through Excite. They were phenomenal. My pictures are beautiful and just unbelievable. Originally, I was only slated to have one photographer for the day, but he was injured last minute, and I ended up getting two different photographers who had more experience and did a better job than the first photographer would have, based on the portfolios I saw. My guests raved about the photographer who stayed for the reception, because she was like a ninja- running everywhere, getting pictures of everyone, and even taking what later looked like family portraits.
I got my pictures in 2 weeks, which is super fast, and a $50 credit for ordering online.
I have only a few minor complaints. The photography package only includes 2 locations, so I had to pay an additional $95 to have the photographer come to my house for pre-ceremony pics, the church, and the reception. I also paid an additional $300 to have the photographers stay an additional 3 hours, which was weird because most receptions last 5 hours, and Excite only offers a 6 hour package, which wouldn't be enough time off the bat to include pictures in between the ceremony and reception.
Also, Rocco does such a great job that he is booked for almost every weekend during the popular wedding seasons during the year, and it gets hard for him to either a) get back to you on a timely basis, and b) keep tabs on what he was paid by you. When I went to my final appointment before my wedding, he couldn't find any of my proof of payments, so I had to pull up my bank account and check images on my laptop, which I had brought with me, to show him what he paid. After my wedding, he had hired an assistant, who I frankly think was not very professional on the phone and tried telling Rocco that I shorted him $285. I, of course, had proof of payment on my phone (again), and the issue was resolved, but it wasn't brought up to me until I went to get my picture discs and I had originally been told everything was all set. It kind of threw me off-guard and annoyed me, but ultimately, all that matters was my guests had a great time, and my pictures were amazing.
Rocco did a great job at our wedding - we got great feedback from our guests about how wonderful the music was and what a great time they had! There was a good mix for all generations, which really kept the dancefloor going all night long!
There was a little miscommunication during the planning process, but Rocco was professional in resolving the issue and ultimately fixed this. Rocco made our wedding a great success!
Jeff and Rocco did a fabulous job!
Did everything we asked him to do. He was very helpful when we didn't really know what to do for a certain event, like the cake cutting song, he recommended a few found what we liked and even helped us pick out extra songs and fun things to do especially for the kids. He kept everyone well entertained and got out there and got people going when they weren't really dancing. Overall I am so impressed with him he was the perfect choice, very professional, helpful, affordable(will work with your budget) on-time and very friendly. I highly recommend him for any future events and i will definitely use him for any of my future events because he will do exactly what you want him to do.
We told him exactly what we wanted and didnn't want, and he stuck to it. when he saw that people really weren't responding to a song he changed it to get people out their. Very accomodating.
